What is laminated safety glass?
Laminated safety glass consists of a tough protective interlayer made of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) bonded together between two panes of glass under heat and pressure. Once sealed together, the glass “sandwich” behaves as a single unit and looks like normal glass. When laminated safety glass is used in a properly designed window or windshield, it can reduce the risk of injury from broken glass because the glass clings to the interlayer upon impact. By holding the glass in place, the interlayer provides protection from dangerous flying or falling glass fragments.
